A CITY performing arts school has been crowned as one of the top three best art institutions in the world.
According to global rankings, the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland has been named as number three in the 2021 World University Rankings for Performing Arts.
The Glasgow school sits alongside New York’s Juilliard School and the Royal College of Music in London.
It’s the fifth time since the ranking was established in 2016 that the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland has been placed in the top ten in what is considered to be the world’s most-consulted university ranking.
Professor Jeffrey Sharkey, Principal of the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, said: “It is especially gratifying to achieve this recognition at a time of great challenge to the arts in a global pandemic.
"It is a tribute to the entire RCS community of students and staff who continue to show such creativity and determination to keep the arts flourishing and developing.
"This exciting news demonstrates that our wider community places faith and trust in our conservatoire to be a place where the arts will continue to tell our shared stories and help rebuild our bonds of society.”
